Professor at UFRJ, I am mostly interested in how the environment and human activities (at a global and local scale) shape the behavior and ecology of marine megafauna.

Study alert: 90% of Guiana dolphin habitats in RJ, Brazil overlap w/ ports & shipping lanes. Only 25% of area remains suitable. Urgent need for speed limits, fishing reforms & new protected zones. #MarineConservation

Imagine how much more healthy science would be if we hired and promoted faculty based on their mentorship, instead of merely counting pubs and grant dollars. 🧪
Academic hiring criteria are all wrong
The most important criteria are: mentorship, mentorship, and mentorship

Some words of wisdom from Louis Pasteur, the legendary French scientist who revolutionized medicine with germ theory, vaccines, and pasteurization. His discoveries continue to save lives today! 🧪🔬🦠

It was an incredible adventure being a visiting professor at Oregon State University, collaborating with the fantastic team at the Marine Mammal Institute. I am grateful for the warm welcome, the inspiring discussions on projects, papers, and future research on tropical marine mammals. Thank you!
